If you've ever had to share a refrigerator with co-workers, the "Ryan S." joke should be obvious. Dunno why I didn't see it before! -- tomstiff 15:06, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ya confused me there, but... I get it now, because my mom came in just now complaining she should start writing her name on her food containers, so yah. That is funny. --Ookelaylay 16:05, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Roller coasters don't usually have circular loops on them like the Bowels of Trogdor, because the G-forces involved, indeed, usually cause people to pass out. No one usually catches fire, though.

Decleated! I mean, Da Cheated! I mean Del Taco! Actually, I've ridden on a roller coaster type thing (called "The Loop") in which the only track was a circle (Shaped like this > O). But, we unfortunately didn't catch fire. *Sigh.* Cheatachu72

Decline I saw on once called the ring of fire. No one passed out. --AnarchyBalsac

Second: Revise, Decline...oVG2?: Talk to my man with the isometric formula and the Roller Coaster Tycoon! (Yes, Shockwave, a coaster in one of them Six Flaggie parks, has TWO loops.) -MK and/or BurnBox 04:01, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Decline Though most loops nowadays are tear-shaped, there are some roller coasters with circular loops. The intensity of the ride boasts a more thrilling coaster. The only real concern with circular loops is that there's a greater chance of riders falling out at the top, but that can be avoided if proper safety measures are taken. - Song from 60s 07:26, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Decline These exist, I think. «Rob» 10:16, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Declined I've been on roller coasters like that so they do exist. The Pardack

Decline. I first rode on a looping rolly-coaster in 1977. -- tomstiff 13:55, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

(A)The "Ryan S." on the box of General Tso's chicken is a reference to Ryan Shoulders from the TV show Survivor: Pearl Islands (airing in late 2003). In episode 2, Ryan S. goes to pick up a message (aka "treemail" on the show). While picking it up, he says, "The treemail, the treemail, wha wha the treemail," a play on the opening to techno.

(B)The "Ryan S." on the box of General Tso's chicken is a reference to Ryan Sterritt, a friend of the Brothers Chaps who has helped with the website in the past.

I'd written the latter one, which I think is a more feasible connection than the former. Accept that one, but Neutral on the former; could be either way, really. --Shadow Hog 15:46, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Move A, Decline B.' That first one should go on the techno page, if it's not already there. The other one is irrelevant. --ISlayedTheKerrek 21:17, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Second The Ryan S. on Survivor is a good refrence (TBC could easily watch survivor), but is a dircet refrence to techno, not theme park, move it. Also, accept the second as it could be just as good and just as likely.

Given that there's DEFINITELY a "Ryan S." on General Tso's Chicken and that it's not terribly likely to just be some random name they came up with, I'd say there's relevance enough. --Shadow Hog 04:27, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Decline Both -- I think that whenever there is this much debate over either option, both should be scrapped. I mean, if it is not clear to a majority, why would it be a reference by the brothers? Tony Stony 01:43, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Accept Both -- They're both reasonable enough to mention. As a big fan of Survivor, I'd love to accept A and decline B, but I must say that B seems a bit more likely, given that A is a connection that few people would make (Ryan S. appeared on the show a total of three times), whereas B would at least be noticed by the "Ryan S." in question. Who knows for sure... but it must be a reference to something, so we should provide some hypothetical explanation. - Dingell

And no, comic doesn't count because all of the TGS voices were used within the TGS toon. The point of the Fun Fact was that SB used his TGS voice completely outside the TGS universe. I believe theme park is the first time he did it, and death metal is the second. — KieferSkunk(talk) — 20:37, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

What? Oh. I thought this was Talk:death metal. I don't think it's an important enough remark, though I am somewhat neutral, so go ahead and STUFF it. If necessary. —AutopilotJoe 20:39, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

I can't believe I'm the only one that noticed this. In the commentary when Matt is talking about the Scorpion and the prerecorded warnings and stuff before you start riding, he says "Hi Lois". Does anyone else think this may be a reference to the comic Hi and Lois? --Kiwi 12:19, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I thought about this later, and it probably depends on the tone in which he said it. If he was just spouting off random stuff, then maybe, but did it sound like he was saying "hi" to someone named Lois? I don't have the DVD, I can't check. --Kiwi 23:27, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I think we need to remove the Peter Puck reference. To be honest, it's most likely a coincidence. I mean, the only real similarity is the circular shape and mouth in the middle. But to be honest, how do you make a NON-circular tire mascot? Bluebry 20:26, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Most mascots would appear portrayed as a cartoon character. I think this is just a coincidence also. --TheCoolBot 20:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it should be noted that the firing of the pistol aboard the jungle cruise at Disney parks is to frighten attacking hippos, not headhunters. Nor is there at any point a rock about to fall on the boats.— Bassbone (TALKCONT) 10:47, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Also, several other points. Firstly, it was not a pistol but a rifle that was used to ward off the attacking hippos, and at least in the case of the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World Florida, they no longer fire at the animals since the opening of Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Secondly, they are referred to as Jungle Skippers, not tour guides (Disney tour guides wore these super hot skirt and argyle sock costumes and carried around riding crops...super hot.) This is coming from a former Jungle Skipper.

I'm pretty sure that after Coach Z's final line in the sequence, Homsar and Homestar continue the mascots' running topic of "chafing", as Homsar says "It's time for chafeball" with Homestar answering with "chafeball already?". Not sure if anyone picked this mistake up in the article, but the article currently says "tasteball". I could just edit it, but I want to get at least some general approval before doing so.

Nah, it's "tasteball". The Ts are right up in there. --DorianGray 04:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm thinking the index cards/milk carton model of the park with the "not to scale" overlay graphic might be a reference to the Back to the Future movies, where such a setup appears twice (once in the first movie and once in the third). I'm not sure this has occurred to anyone else, given the lack of discussion on it and the fact that it isn't in the article. (Does that make it too obscure?) Can I get a consensus?
